What's more, if they were, replacements would be needed for the 18, as all buses using The Boulevard in the MRI grounds should be Hybrids - a rule that may be bent a little too much as it is, with standard Diesels often running on the 18....and not just at peak times. Indeed Phil! 37374 and a B7RLE on the 18 today. Maybe they should borrow one from Leeds if there is a repaint programme planned, 39213 done already in Urban. |

RE: First Manchester
Finally spotted 39213 yesterday in the standard First livery. For those who haven't seen it, here's a photo from Flickr from the start of the week. https://www.flickr.com/photos/128561752@...438607941/ Did think they might have copied the livery adopted by First West Yorkshire in Leeds, when they repainted their hybrid B5LHs. https://www.flickr.com/photos/matthewbur...684556932/ |

I noticed the contrast whereby the Leeds examples have a green variation of First corporate livery. It is a pity that this is not so far being replicated in Manchester. |

RE: First Manchester
Noticed a couple of the ex Cornwall ADL Darts working out of Dukinfield again. No on hire notices so I assume they are back for good? Have only 2 made the move? |

Looks from this photo as though 30894 has too. (It's not in service, and I can't read the depot sticker - "Oldham" and "Bolton" are too similar in shape at that resolution - but I don't think a Bolton bus would have any reason to be over on that side of Piccadilly Gardens.) |

Does anyone know why these have moved? Personally i liked them on my local route in Bolton... |

RE: First Manchester
All 3 have transfered to Oldham Depot to cover for the Enviro400s that have departed recently, only thing is that due to their age (X-reg) they can't be used on Schools so are used on mainline services only. |

Wish they were at Bolton, they should have sent some B9s to cover.. |

RE: First Manchester
Bolton need the B9s for Schools hence them sending them. For Blog Posts Containing all the latest in the local Bus Scene The 2002 Bus Blog Subscribe to my Youtube Channel, Updated regularly! All my Social Media Links here! https://linktr.ee/TerencePrice |
